Alice Cooper recently talked about Guns N' Roses' reunion for 2016 and the band's founding guitarist, Izzy Stradlin's apparent absence, according to Rolling Stone.
"I'm just wondering why isn't Izzy in there?" said Cooper. "I don't know about drums, but certainly Izzy is viable. You'd think if Slash and Axl are working together and Duff is one of those guys that gets along with everybody, then, at least, Izzy would be one of the guys who would be a shoo-in and maybe he is, I don't know, I don't know what their setup is with him. But it's like not having Brian Jones with the Rolling Stones, if he were available."
Stradlin has played with Guns N' Roses from 1985 to 1991 and since the band announced their reunion for 2016, Alice Cooper said that Duff McKagan seems to be reinvigorated, even in Hollywood Vampires.
"Duff is great, man," shared Cooper. "One of the great things about when we put the Vampires together is how the bass and drums make the songs move. You've got two guys that have played together for 20 years. They're locked in. It's really good."
Alice Cooper guested on GN'R's "The Garden" and before that, recorded a version of his "Under My Wheels" with Slash and Axl Rose in 1988. He also took the band on the road with him in 1987, after the release of "Appetite for Destruction."
More rumors about GN'Rs' reunion for 2016, continue to spread from fan forum, MyGNRForum.com.
Rumors say that Stradlin will surely have limited participation and will at least perform with the band, during their shows in Las Vegas in April. Some fans from the forum said, that talks about Steven Adler's participation in the Guns N' Roses Reunion for 2016 continue. His replacement, Matt Sorum was not mentioned in the conversation, revealed Blabbermouth.
Axl Rose, Slash and Duff will play together, headlining Coachella and is also rumored to perform at this year's Grammys, reported NME.
